Farm Workers

The Employer will hire all able, willing, and qualified domestic workers through the 50% point of the contract period, and therefore the number of foreign workers hired could be substantially fewer than listed. All domestic and foreign workers will be subject to all E-Verification laws. Job duties are for general farm and harvest labor on a row crop farm.
